Nothing serious here today

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Put your own value in place of <CAF_API_KEY> (API key from the Caf dashboard). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: CAF_API_BASE (API base URL — defaults to Caf production. Override for sandbox).

MCP Caf — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Caf?
MCP Caf runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @codespar/mcp-caf was installed 49 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Caf?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @codespar/mcp-caf straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Caf?
The npm package @codespar/mcp-caf was installed 49 times in the last week. Week over week that is +133%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Caf open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 277 stars on GitHub and 14 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
